(10) The nature of a ghost swordsman

Ice Hunter soon arrives at the village chief's house, only to find that although there is a fire burning in the house, there is no one in the house, which surprises him.

"The village chief's father also left the camp shortly after I went home to rest, so I should have arrived home a long time ago, right?"

The red-haired boy quickly walked around the room, hoping for some information, and soon found that some of the wood in the stove was new, which meant that the village chief had indeed returned home and added wood to the stove, but he had since left.

"Tsk! Disappeared at such a time, village chief, Dad, you are really disqualified, now I have to ring the alarm bell, I hope it's still too late. ”

Ice Hunter walked out of the house quickly, but as soon as he got out of the door, he heard a loud shout, 'Who is this?' Lao Tzu ......'

The sound came from the direction of the dock, but it could still be heard so clearly from a distance of nearly a mile, the voice of the shouting person was indeed not small, and the ice hunter, who knew that the pirates had come, immediately ran to the outpost in the center of the village, and then rang the alarm bell hanging on it, symbolizing the rapid sixteen bells of the invasion of foreign enemies, the village began to be agitated, many people did not know what was happening, this kind of code more than twenty years ago was very unfamiliar to them, only some old people were vigilant.

The red-haired boy let go of the hammer and jumped off the watchtower and ran all the way to the docks, God knows how long it would take for the unsuspecting villagers to recover and complete the evacuation, but one thing is for sure, they won't be in time before the pirates arrive.

"So I'm going to buy them a little time, who made me the only militia in the Foggy Rain Village? It's good to repay the favor. ”

Foggy Rain Village has its own barracks, which means that it has the ability to train soldiers, as long as it wears the equipment automatically generated in the barracks, even a coward who has never killed a chicken can get bonuses and become a qualified warrior, only barely qualified.

According to Ice Hunt's own feelings, these equipment will bring a temporary reinforcement to people after putting it on, and this reinforcement will be lifted after taking off the equipment, and this reinforcement generally comes from three conveniences, which are physical strengthening, skill instillation, and combat instinct.

It's a pity that Bing Hunt can't experience the feeling of ordinary people after being strengthened, because the level of the red-haired boy himself in these three aspects is far more than the level that the functional building bonus can provide, and this kind of enhancement like adding tiles to the villa is simply meaningless.

However, Ice Hunt's personal situation can't deny the value of functional buildings, as long as you wear equipment, then it is equivalent to saving months of training time, and upgrading from a battle five scum to a battle six scum, anyway, in Ice Hunt's eyes, what is catalyzed by functional buildings is scum.

A barracks will automatically generate a corresponding amount of equipment according to the area it is in, and barracks in high-level towns can produce powerful heavy pikemen or champion two-handed swordsman equipment, while in small places like Fog Rain Village, barracks can only generate stick soldier equipment.

Even if it is the equipment of the stick soldiers, there are only five sets in the barracks, which is the highest number of defense forces in Wuyu Village.

The fifty pirates who were separated to attack the village naturally heard the alarm bell of the village, so they no longer hid their presence, but lit their torches, brandished the scimitar in their hands, and rushed towards the foggy rain village that was obviously still in a state of confusion and chaos.

Each of the famous pirates has a special kind of pirate ship, which can produce equipment like functional buildings, this set of equipment includes a sailor suit with a certain protective ability and a glittering scimitar, when armed, they can confront the swordsmen and pikemen trained in the normal barracks, of course, there are many types of pirate equipment, each set also has its own unique components, the most famous of which are the New World Pirates and Barbary Clipper Pirates equipped with short muskets.

Fifty ferocious pirates are an assault force to be reckoned with, even on a frontal battlefield, and the average city defender will be frightened at the sound of their beastly howls, which only veterans of the real battlefield can ignore.

Ice hunting guarding the entrance of the village was also disturbed by this ghost scream, he felt that this sound was really noisy, he was upset by the noise, and the killing intent that was calmed down by the little guy when he was with Dong Dong just now surged again because of the bloodthirsty resonance of the beast, no matter which path he finally chosen, the ghost swordsman would not change his bloodthirsty and warlike nature, he was tormented by a painful illness, and was driven away by the ignorant people as a disaster, and the ghost swordsmen who grew up in this situation, their character is extreme.

As a ghost swordsman, he can be gentle, kind, and even boundless, but he will never be soft on anyone.

Although Ice Hunter didn't have that curse-like disease, he was indeed a ghost swordsman, but the purest of kinds!

The red-haired demon rushed into the formation of the beasts with a cruel smile, and then the beasts saw the half-cut bodies of the three unfortunate ones fly high, their blood raining down, and their wails of terror and pain were transmitted to everyone of their kind.

The beasts were momentarily frightened and stopped their advance, and when they found that the attacker was an unarmed red-haired teenager, they regained their courage - in a world where unarmed means infighting, they also seem to have forgotten that an unarmed kitchen knife can kill a heavily armed knight just as well.

Little Hearn asked him to bring a better weapon before leaving, so Ice Hunt picked a double-sided axe, in fact, this is because there is no sword weapon on the weapon rack, and the red-haired boy now finds that this axe is more painful than a big sword!

"However, some of my moves can only be felt with a sword." Ice Hunter said, and suddenly threw his axe high into the air.

All the beasts instinctively raised their heads to look at the murder weapon, ignoring that the young man in front of them was actually the real murder weapon.

Ice Hunter pulled out two knives snatched from the pirate informant, buried his waist and rushed in the direction of the pirates, the two sharp blades in his hands quickly cut each body that stood in the way, the cold light of the blade and the flying blood flowers were the same color, his movements were very fast, if the pirates could concentrate on dealing with it, they might still have a chance to dodge, but now they could only maintain the posture of looking at the sky and fell to the ground, and the axe thrown into the sky fell in a circle, and finally smashed at the feet of Ice Hunt, The young man, covered in the blood of others, threw the weapon on the ground that had dulled the edge of the weapon from slashing a dozen enemies in a row, and picked up the axe again.

'Using your current body to use the Raptor's Air Slash, is the burden still too heavy?' And it also needs to be blindfolded...... Shame on you. ’

"It's boring! It's the first time I've killed so many humans in one sitting. But there was nothing strange in my heart. Ice Hunter slung his axe to his shoulder, staring at the horrific corpses on the ground and muttering to himself, and none of the pirates around him dared to step forward.

"Fortunately, I grew up in a relatively peaceful world, otherwise I'm afraid I would have become a murderous demon king, right?"

In fact, in the eyes of the pirates besieging him, this terrifying guy with high martial arts skills has long been able to equate with demons.

Flexible is simply not human, he is ruthless, no matter how he cuts, he can't cut it, and he killed more than half of them on his side.

"I can meet so many guys who don't have a psychological burden to kill... Let's go on a killing spree today. The demon bared its fangs again.

The pirates who wanted to enter the village encountered a great killing god, and the pirates who went to attack the sailor's camp ran head-on into the iron plate, when these guys happily rushed into the camp gate, waiting for them were five ballistae that had been waiting for a long time, these ballistas were bought from the Celts who were good at producing siege weapons, and they belonged to a kind of bonus equipment, these Celtic light ballistas had a much faster shooting rate than ordinary ballistas, and their lords had been preparing for the war that could come at any time, Each trading fleet will have a transport ship specially used to carry weapons, special equipment, war horses and other strategic materials.

The bravest and most bloodthirsty pirates were nailed to the ground or strung together with oncoming crossbow arrows, and some of the rest stood in a daze, not knowing whether to rush or not, and some were provoked by the death of their companions, pushing the men in front of them, brandishing their swords and rushing to the first row, but the rhythm of the pirates was indeed interrupted.

The Ballista riders didn't try to fire a second round of bolts, they retreated in an orderly manner, making room for the sailors waiting behind them, in fact, the group of sailors pouring out of the ballista was more like a ragtag army than the pirates with uniform equipment.

Among them were tall Vikings with shields and Nordic swords, Franks with spears and chain mail, and Teutonic warhammers wielding warhammers, many of whom had no armor at all.

Some pirates were first smashed by the Viking shield and then wiped their necks with a sword, some pirates were pierced by several spears before they could react, and then picked up, and some pirates were hammered open when they charged, and the rabble with all kinds of equipment and the pirates who looked quite elite with unified equipment collided as a result, and the pirates were killed and turned on their backs.

Those equipment with a strengthening effect can indeed save the lords a lot of time to train troops, so many lords adopt a system of all soldiers, they usually accumulate an amazing amount of equipment, and in wartime, they are armed with an amazing number of recruits, anyway, whether it is an old man, a woman, or a child, as long as they can wear bonus equipment, it can be counted as a combat effectiveness.

But some smart lords know that it is impossible to produce a truly powerful army long ago by relying on equipment bonuses, and if they want to obtain a real elite army, what they need is continuous training and actual combat beating, the so-called bonus armament is just a training tool for them, and these sailors brought by Little Hearn are the kind of real strong soldiers who rely on training to become strong.

The pirates obviously didn't know this, so the sword skills they had acquired by virtue of the bonuses were so stiff, rigid, and uniform in the eyes of their enemies, and the courage they had gained by plundering the weak was pale in the eyes of these brave warriors.

The large army of 200 pirates was bitten by the sailors of only more than 100 people, and the skin and flesh were ground off little by little, and as the speed of death accelerated, the pirates actually had a tendency to be counter-killed, and when the frenzy dissipated, then ......

"Damn! Damn it! It's so hard that these landlubbers can't change their plans now. The pirate leader looked at the battlefield completely different from what he imagined, gritted his teeth with anger but was helpless, looking at the posture, even if they succeeded in the sneak attack, they would end up with heavy casualties, but with so many dead, did they finally flee back to the sea like this?

"Can't! I will never accept this kind of result! Even if I can't grab the gold, I'll rob him of a few merchant ships and sack their village!" ”

With that in mind, the pirate leader fired a shot into the sky, then roared at his men.

"Don't rush it! Don't rush! It's a tough nut, everyone follow me to grab the boat! ”

"But...... Captain, what about the brothers who have already rushed in? His first mate asked, confused.

Now there are nearly seventy pirates and sailors fighting together, and they are inseparable at all, and if they leave now, then this group of pirates will inevitably die.

"Then let them stay here. Now there are so many refugees displaced by the war, as long as there is a pirate ship, there are as many new pirates as possible! ”

The pirate leader felt that the pirates who went to ransack the village would surely return with a full load, because according to the informant, the village had only a basic barracks, so there would be no decent resistance at all.

As long as you withdraw now, take people over and rob their ships first, and then rob a group of people, then this transaction is still profitable, but unfortunately there should be no valuable goods left in the other party's ship, but if you act quickly, you can still sweep up valuable things, and whether you can recover the loss, the key depends on the results of the looting of the village.

'As for why the rumors leaked out and prepared the sailors, it must have been the fault of those stupid informants, and when I get back to sea, I will drag them all behind the boat to feed the sharks!' ’

In the camp, Hearn Jr. joined the battle, fighting with his own sailors at the forefront, from the very beginning of the battle to the present, three pirates had died under his sword, and when he finally had the strength to observe the battlefield, he found a strange place.

'Strange...... There were a lot of pirates when they first rushed in, but now that long is there so much left? ’

'The number of pirates is conservatively estimated to be twice as large as ours, but now the number is clearly wrong...... What about the rest of the pirates? ’

Suddenly, little Hearn came to his senses.

"This group of pirates, after seeing that the camp is not easy to fight, may turn around and attack the village! And also...... Boats parked at the pier! ”

It's a pity that little Hearn woke up a little late, he originally sent out to protect the ship with only more than 20 sailors, and all of them were hired sailors of the weaker merchants, and under the attack of hundreds of pirates, the whole army was quickly wiped out.

"Hurry up! Hurry up and get me to the warehouse! Remove everything valuable! And also! Chop down their sails and burn them! ”

The pirate leader laughed wildly and stood at the bow of the ship yelling at his minions.

"A ship without sails can't catch up with our clipper! Hurry up! Hurry up! ”

The only goods that Hearn brought to the camp were munitions, treasures, and chests of gold, and the ships were left with large quantities of trade goods, such as textiles, hides, spices, sugar, and the like, which were worth plundering, and the pirates could trade these goods to the stolen merchants at low prices and make a fortune.

Just as the pirate leader was excited about his dream of making a fortune, a commotion at the entrance of the cabin suddenly caught his attention.
